Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““To this court, the principle involving summary judgments most applicable in this instance is that where facts asserted are such that, if established, there could be no recovery, or where undisputed facts are such as would preclude plaintiff’s recovery, question on motion for summary judgment for defendant becomes one of law for determination of court and a proper matter for disposition by summary judgment. Greyhound Corp. v. Excess Ins. Co. of America, 233 F.2d 630 (C.A. 5 1956).” [Emphasis supplied.]”
